CHARLES RYSDON, OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA.

PAN.

Application filed February 19, 1923. Serial No. 619,973.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, CHARLES RrsnoN, a citizen of the United States, reslding at Sioux Falls, in the county of Minnehaha and State of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pans, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pans, designed primarily for use in the feeding of pigs, but it is to be understood that a pan in accordance with this invention can be used for any purpose wherein it is found applicable, and

the top of the pan to prevent the bending or damaging thereof under ordinary conditions of use and shipment.

Further objects of the invention are to provide in a manner as hereinafter referred to, a seamless imperforate feeding pan for the purpose set forth which is simple in its construction, strong, durable, efficient in its use, readily set up and inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an'embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modificationscan be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto'appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure l is a perspective view of a seamless imperforate feeding pan in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view thereof.

A feeding pan in accordance with this invention is seamless, as well as imperforate, and is stamped from a sheet of suitable metallic material, preferably galvanized iron of substantial thickness to provide a pan when set up, with a rigid characteristic throughout The pan includes a bottom 1, which-is imperforate, as well as seamless, and further includes a body portion 2, which is also seamless, as well as being imperforate. The

body portion 2 is integral with the bottom 1 and at its point of joinder with the bottom 1., is rounded'as'at 3. The body portion I p is provided with outwardly and inwardly,

extending corrugations 4L, 5, respectively. The corrugations are formed in the body portion 2throughout and are substantially \/-shaped in contour, with the base thereof slightly rounded, and each of the corruga tions gradually increase in depth from its lower to its upper end. The corrugations 4, 5, start from the upper terminus of the rounded portion 3 of the body 2. The body portion 2 is slightly flaring or outwardly sloping and by suchconstruction it provides for the nesting of a series of pans when storing or shipping the same.

The body portion 2 is annular in contour,

and the bottom 1 circular, and the said bottom 1 is formed with an annular upwardly extending circular rib 6, which is spaced a substantial distance from the rounded lower portion 3 of the body 2. l

The upper marginal portion of the body.

2 is formed of two plies of the material from which the pan is constructed, whereby the said marginal portion is reinforced so that the top of the pan will be stiffened to prevent the bending or damage thereof under ordinary conditions of'use or when shipping;

The manner of setting up the reinforced top marginal portion of the body 2, is formed from a narrow snugly fitting overlap 7 of the material from which the pan is con structed. The narrow overlap 7 is ofi-a contour as to conform to the corrugated body 1 and snugly fit the same, and further is arranged on the outer face of the body portion 2 and by the employment of this reinforcing means, the tope dge 8 of the body portion 2 is of a double thickness The bead 6 stiffens the body 1 and pro vides the lower face of the bottom 1, with an annular groove 9, which is continuous, and which is adapted to receive the rib 6 of a lower pan when a plurality of pans are nested. i

From the foregoing construction as set forth and shown, an unusually durable feeding panis set up, which is not only seamless, but also imperforate,f and further a pan 1s set up thereby the top thereof is reinforced so that it cannot become damaged under ordinary conditions, and although the preferred -construct1on of pan 1s that as described and illustrated, yet it is to be under-' stood that changes in the details of construction can be had which Will fall Within the corrugations, and said bodyportion further having its top marginalpart reinforced by a narrow'snugly fitting overlap formed from an'integral part of the material from Which the body of the body portion is constructed thereby providing the body-portion ith a topedge otdouble thickness, said overlap arranged against the outer face of said body pQr' npoint in close 2. A pan for feeding pigs Comprising an imperforate upwardly extendingcontinuous seamless slightly flared rigid metallic body portion having formed integral therewith an imperforate seamless bottom formed With an upwardly extending continuous circular rib semi-cylindrical in cross section, said body portionprovided throughout with al ternately disposed inwardly and outwardly extending corrugations and further having its top marginal part reinforced by a narrow snugly fitting overlap'oii the material from Which the body portion is constructed thereby providing the body. portion With a top edge of double thickness, said overlap arranged against and'conforming in contour to the outer face of said body portion, the corrugations of said body portion being substantially V shaped in contour and gradually increasing, in depth from the lower to the upper end thereof and further startingat a' l proximity to the lower terminus of the body portion.

In testimony whereof, ture hereto; 7

CHARLES RYSDON.
